Most of a Fremont production line designed to make one million robots a year is in place. Reaching a rate of 20,000 units a week could take at least another year and possibly longer.
Tesla is also targeting integration of its AI5 chip into Optimus around April 2027, provided development stays on schedule. AI5 is expected to deliver about 10 times the computing power of AI4, increasing the robot’s processing capacity.
